Revainrating 5 out of 5

I literally got hit by my cat and still works. super sensitive.

Well the cat almost killed him on his first day. (Note to self: fix it to the wall or ceiling before next use.) I got home with the cable pulled down the stairs to the basement with the mini-USB literally bent. The chamber was divided into three. Got it back and it still works. Wonderful. The image quality is excellent for the price of a camera. Hypersensitive to sounds. I received 24 notifications in 5 minutes before finally turning off notifications completely. That's why I didn't notice that the camera was destroyed. She must have made enough noise while I adjusted her to see what she was up to that caught her attention, and she decided to freeze and eviscerate the poor harmless camera. So it was tested for durability. Two claws up! I need to figure out how to reduce the sensitivity. The software is not intuitive. You have to play around with it to find out. I also can't figure out how to play the recorded video stream (the files can't be read by any application I can find in the Play Store). I'd really like to see the carnage with my own eyes. I installed an SD card, no problem. I think it's a requirement if you want it to be recorded. Another thing to note is that this is not a rechargeable device. It has to be related to work. The good news is, if you don't want to risk someone "seeing" or "hearing" what's going on in your home without your knowledge, simply unplug it. There is no power switch. It's just plug and play. You plug it in, it's on. You turn it off, it's off. Although it fully justifies its price. Once I learn how to use it I will be glad I bought it.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
